Description
La présente invention concerne un régulateur de croissance végétale et un herbicide. Plus particulièrement, la présente invention concerne l'utilisation d'un gel comprenant de l'anhydride nonanoïque, un polymère et de l'eau comme régulateur de croissance végétale et/ou herbicide. La présente invention concerne également des compositions et des procédés régulant la croissance végétale et/ou herbicides.The present invention relates to a plant growth regulator and a herbicide. More particularly, the present invention relates to the use of a gel comprising nonanoic anhydride, a polymer and water as a plant growth regulator and/or herbicide. The present invention also relates to plant growth regulating and/or herbicidal compositions and methods.
L'utilisation du glyphosate comme herbicide est de plus en plus contestée par les autorités réglementaires et par le grand public.The use of glyphosate as a herbicide is increasingly contested by regulatory authorities and the general public.
Les solutions alternatives au glyphosate disponibles pour les agriculteurs sont manuelles ou mécaniques. Plusieurs sont déjà utilisées par les collectivités locales françaises, qui ne peuvent plus utiliser le glyphosate dans les espaces ouverts au public depuis janvier 2017.The alternatives to glyphosate available to farmers are manual or mechanical. Several are already used by French local authorities, which can no longer use glyphosate in spaces open to the public since January 2017.
Il existe notamment des méthodes préventives, comme la rotation des cultures (qui permet de rompre régulièrement le développement des mauvaises herbes, qui sont différentes selon les plantes cultivées), le faux semis (la préparation des champs plusieurs semaines avant le semis pour permettre aux mauvaises herbes de germer, et les éliminer mécaniquement avant d'ensemencer réellement), ou encore le paillage (qui consiste à recouvrir les sols de matériaux d'origine végétale et minérale, ou bien de certains matériaux synthétiques, pour stopper la croissance des adventices).In particular, there are preventive methods, such as crop rotation (which makes it possible to regularly break the development of weeds, which are different depending on the plants grown), false sowing (preparing the fields several weeks before sowing to allow weeds to weeds to germinate, and eliminate them mechanically before actually sowing), or even mulching (which consists of covering the soil with materials of plant and mineral origin, or with certain synthetic materials, to stop the growth of weeds).
Des moyens mécaniques permettent également d'endiguer la pousse des mauvaises herbes en arrachant ou en détruisant les racines des plantes non désirées. Il existe différents types de machines en fonction des cultures et de leurs spécificités, certaines coupant les racines à plusieurs centimètres de profondeurs, d'autres utilisant des herses, qui agissent sur le sol en surface. Les exploitants peuvent aussi pratiquer le désherbage thermique, en passant des flammes, de l'eau chaude ou de la vapeur d'eau sur les plantes adventices pour les faire mourir.Mechanical means can also stem the growth of weeds by pulling out or destroying the roots of unwanted plants. There are different kinds machines depending on the crops and their specificities, some cutting the roots several centimeters deep, others using harrows, which act on the surface soil. Farmers can also practice thermal weeding, passing flames, hot water or steam over weeds to kill them.
Ces méthodes présentent toutefois des inconvénients. Elles affectent notamment la structure des sols et peuvent accroître leur érosion. Elles nécessitent également des dépenses d'énergie conséquentes, et ne sont pas toutes adaptées aux grandes exploitations.However, these methods have drawbacks. In particular, they affect the structure of the soil and can increase its erosion. They also require substantial energy expenditure, and are not all suitable for large farms.
Pour l'heure, il n'existe pas de produit biologique qui ait une efficacité équivalente au glyphosate.For now, there is no biological product that has an equivalent effectiveness to glyphosate.
De ce fait, trouver une solution alternative à l'utilisation du glyphosate représente un enjeu stratégique majeur.Therefore, finding an alternative solution to the use of glyphosate represents a major strategic challenge.
Pour être acceptée, cette alternative devra présenter une efficacité équivalente voire supérieure au glyphosate et ne pas être nocive pour l'environnement ou pour la santé humaine. Idéalement, en plus d'une action désherbante le produit devra avoir une action de régulateur de croissance pour limiter le nombre d'application saisonnière et les étapes de débroussaillage et de tonte mécanique.To be accepted, this alternative must have an equivalent or even superior efficacy to glyphosate and not be harmful to the environment or to human health. Ideally, in addition to a weedkiller action, the product should have a growth regulator action to limit the number of seasonal applications and the clearing and mechanical mowing stages.
L'action de l'acide nonanoïque (aussi appelé acide pelargonique) est connue comme régulateur de croissance et/ou herbicide.The action of nonanoic acid (also called pelargonic acid) is known as a growth regulator and/or herbicide.

Bien que cette utilisation présente de nombreux avantages, la formulation de ces compositions reste encore à affiner afin d'augmenter leur efficacité.The applicants have already proposed the use of nonanoic anhydride as a growth regulator and/or herbicide.

Des plantes témoins non traités ont été utilisées comme témoin négatif.Untreated control plants were used as a negative control.
Les solutions comprenant de l'anhydride nonanoïque ou de l'acide nonanoïque ont été épandues avec des densités variables (0.05 l/m2, 0.0351/m2 et 0.02 l/m2) .The solutions comprising nonanoic anhydride or nonanoic acid were spread with varying densities (0.05 l/m 2 , 0.0351/m 2 and 0.02 l/m 2 ).
L'action de ses différentes compositions a été suivie pendant 14 jours avec des prises de mesures à 24h, 7 jours, 14 jours et 30 jours. Les résultats obtenus sont représentés aux [
Une dégradation de l'adventice est constatée après 1 jour quel que soit le produit utilisé. Les effets de l'assèchement sont visibles quelques heures après pulvérisation. Pour toutes les densités d'épandage, on observe une efficacité supérieure des solutions aqueuses d'anhydride nonanoïque par rapport à celle comprenant de l'acide nonanoïque. Par ailleurs, on observe une efficacité constante à 14 jours des solutions aqueuses d'anhydride nonanoïque, alors que l'efficacité des solutions comprenant de l'acide nonanoïque décroit à 14jours.Degradation of the weed is observed after 1 day regardless of the product used. The effects of drying out are visible a few hours after spraying. For all spreading densities, a higher efficiency of aqueous solutions of nonanoic anhydride is observed compared to that comprising nonanoic acid. Furthermore, a constant effectiveness is observed at 14 days of the aqueous solutions of nonanoic anhydride, whereas the effectiveness of the solutions comprising nonanoic acid decreases at 14 days.
